Horsehead and Flame in hydrogen

[drjolo]

I probably should not even introduce these two targets, as I am pointing my telescope there almost every winter. This season I have already did it in November, so I feel free now for other winter gems

60 frames, 3 minutes each captured with TecnoSky 90/540 Owl refractor, 0.8x FF/FR, QHY268M camera, EQ6 mount and old Baader Ha filter. Conditions were not great, transparency was medium and under my suburban sky LP was significant. But Ha and SII bands are somehow resistant to that, so I decided to catch these low altitude targets.

Great image....I love B&W Ha images.

Thanks! I also love Ha mono images. Colors can be great, but are sometimes distracting. B&W image may reveal more details and shades.

Superb, I'm a big fan of b&W images, this is really pleasing.
